I loveeeee Namie Amuro with SUPER MONKEY'S. Their music was so fun.

She's look great though, lol.

The other members must have felt like sh-t though that the group's name became Namie Amuro with SUPER MONKEY'S. XD

the name "Super Monkey" always reminds me of that rumor where Ayu is the evil queen-bee at Avex & supposedly calls Namie "the monkey"

anyways, I only like namies music from Style & onwards. I prefer MAX to Namie's oldies.

Well, it was obvious that Namie began to gain more popularity than the rest, though, they sure had their shot in the limelight with MAX.

Anyway, I wouldn't say she was a great singer back then, but dancer, yes. I really love TRY ME ~Watashi wo Shinjite~. I've seen another performance of it, maybe it's from MSta, she's wearing a long leather coat there.

EDIT: It's this one. The stage kind of reminds me of MSta, but I'm not that sure.

You can tell her voice really matured from 1992 to 1994.

Namie was so cute. Though the only Super Monkey's stuff I liked was Mr. USA and Stop the Music.

I wouldn't say Namie's singing was horrible back then. A little untrained, but still decent.

I don't care if other artists sing off-key while dancing, because that's not a reason to be in denial . I'm sure she didn't dance when she made the studio recorded songs, and still in those songs she sounds mediocre as a singer. With a weak, shy voice, and a failure attempt of trying something that mimics "rap" (I know it's all TK's fault but, anyway....) doesn't make her a great singer back then. She was a great performer and had catchy songs, though.
These references are not for her current career though, because she's changed and matured A LOT on the singing part.

I don't think she was a super great singer back then, but she wasn't horrible. She was a bit nasally. But to think about it, she still is a bit. I definitely prefer her performances back then. She had more energy than she does now. Her voice also has more energy. Now, her vocals aren't really extraordinary.

You need to relax. We all know you're a huge Namie fan. But please...

She said in an interview that back then she PURPOSELY broke her voice so she would sound thick/mature/sexy and she never gave it time to heal so she could sing high notes again until the Suite Chic era. lol

Yeah Namie's voice wasn't so good a long time ago. But she can definitely dance.
